How we checked this. The official city page shows the agenda for 22-23 July 2026 at Hyatt Regency Dulles, 2300 Dulles Corner Blvd, Herndon, VA (the official page names the edition Greater DC, Northern VA Metro Area); no post-event recap or attendance figure for this city was found on ascii.com (the 1,500+ figure in the series press release covers all eight cities). Dates and city from the organiser's own social post (21 Jul 2026) and the ASCII press release snippet; the city page itself could not be fetched (bot-blocked), so venue and price are unknown. Last checked Nov 6, 2026.
